Mask, IPv6 Default Gateway, MAC Address (read-only), MTU settings

(read-only), Multicast Address, Alarm Management Host Address/Port, ANPR IP

address, ANPR port, Alarm Host Address, and Alarm Host Port.

Notes:

● The Multicast sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows

multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy


27

from the multicast group address. Before utilizing this function, you have to

enable the Multicast function of your router.

● Number plate data can be transmitted through ANPR protocol. Before using

this function, you have to configure ANPR IP address and ANPR port to

connect the host.

server.

Note: If the camera is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP

server that has a time synchronization function, such as the server at the National

Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the camera is set in a customized

network, NTP software can be used to establish a NTP server for time

synchronization.

Chapter 9 Encoding and Storage

Configuration Purpose:

You can configure the encoding and storage related parameters from this page,

including video encoding, image encoding, ROI, record schedule, redundant storage,

and FTP.

9.1 Configure Video Encoding

Steps:

1. Go to Configuration >Device Configuration > Encoding and Storage > Video

Encoding.

Figure 9-1 Video Encoding

2. Configure the Main Stream Parameters:

The main stream is usually used for recording and live view with good bandwidth.


34

Stream Type: Video and Video & Audio are selectable.

Max. Bitrate: Set the max. bitrate to 32 to 16384 Kbps, or custom. The higher

value corresponds to the higher video quality, and the higher bandwidth is

required.

Note: The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies according to different

cameras. For some certain cameras, the maximum limit is 8192 Kbps or 12288

Kbps.

Frame Rate: The range of frame rate varies according to different video standard.

Under NTSC standard, the max. rate can be set to 60 fps. Under PAL standard, the

max. rate can be set to 50 fps. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which

the video stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A

higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as

it maintains image quality throughout.

Resolution: Select the resolution of the video output.

SVC: Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC standard. Select

on/off to enable/disable the SVC function.

3. Configure the sub-stream parameters. Sub-stream can be used for live view when

the bandwidth is limited.

4. Configure the third stream parameters.

5. (Optional) Click Advanced Settings to expand the menu and configure the

following parameters.

Bitrate Type: Select the bitrate type to Constant or Variable.

Video Quality: When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality

are selectable.

Encoding Complexity: Select the encoding complexity. The higher the complexity

is, the better the image quality is.

I Frame Interval: Set the I-Frame interval to 1 to 400.

Video Encoding: Select the encoding mode to H.264, MJPEG, or H.265.



35

2. Select Capture Resolution.

3. Enter JPEG Picture Size. The captured pictures are saved as JPEG files, and you

can define the picture size by manually entering the value.


9.3 Configure ROI

Purpose:

ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to discriminate the ROI and background

information in video compression, which means, the technology assigns more

encoding resource to the region of interest, thus to increase the quality of the ROI

whereas the background information is less focused.

Note: ROI function varies according to different camera models.

Steps:

1. Go to Configuration> Device Configuration> Encoding and Storage > ROI.


36

Figure 9-3 ROI Settings

photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is

proportional to shutter speed.

5. Adjust Gain [0 to 100].

Gain of image can be manually configured from 0 to 100. The bigger the value is,

the brighter would the image be, and the noise would also be amplified to a larger

SADP Software Introduction

Description of SADP

SADP (Search Active Devices Protocol) is a kind of user-friendly and installation-free

online device search tool. It searches the active online devices within your subnet and

displays the information of the devices. You can also modify the basic network

information of the devices using this software.

Search active devices online

Search online devices automatically

After launch the SADP software, it automatically searches the online devices

every 15 seconds from the subnet where your computer locates. It displays

the total number and information of the searched devices in the Online

Devices interface. Device information including the device type, IP address

and port number, etc. will be displayed.

Select inactive device.

the installer and/or end-user.
